35 Cranbrook Drive, St Albans, AL4 0SR

35 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. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 sits 343.2% above the 1999 sale of £74,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 58.4% below the postcode norm.
