Overview

About 27 Colney Heath Lane

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

27 Colney Heath Lane is a detached house in St Albans (AL4 0SY). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £659,000 sits 75.7% above the 2008 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 34.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
