Overview

About 9 Colney Heath Lane

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

9 Colney Heath Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 0SY). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 965 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a loft.

Across 1996–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £702,000 sits 64.6% above the 2012 sale of £426,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£442/sq ft) was about 45.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in September 2012. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9 Colney Heath Lane is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0SY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 9 Colney Heath Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 9 Colney Heath Lane was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 9 Colney Heath Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 0SY, not by walking route.
Council tax band
9 Colney Heath Lane is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
