How the estimate is made

The estimate for 2b is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8BJ. 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.

Overview

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 18 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 £628,000 sits 87.5% above the 2009 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 21.5% 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.

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 2b is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8BJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2b. 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 2b was lodged in July 2013 at band E and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 2b. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 8BJ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
2b 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.
