Overview

About 8 King Edward Place

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

8 King Edward Place is an end-of-terrace house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8FJ). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 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. At 152 m² it's 21.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (125 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £750,000 is 17.2% above the 2007 sale price.
