Overview

About 47 Cranbrook Drive

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

47 Cranbrook Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL4 0SR). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £732,000 sits 85.3% above the 2007 sale of £394,950. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
