Overview

About 12 Sleapshyde Lane

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

12 Sleapshyde Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Smallford, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0SB). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £578,000 sits 83.5% above the 2009 sale of £315,000.
