About 2b

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

2b is a four-bedroom detached house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it B (July 2010); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -19.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £555,000 sits 65.7% above the 2009 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 21.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
