Overview

About 15 Cranbrook Drive

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

15 Cranbrook Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL4 0SR). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 60.5% above the 2007 sale of £205,000.
