Overview

About Moat House

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

Moat House is a property in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8FJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft) and council tax band F. At 79 m² this is the 4th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Moat House, where floor areas span 78–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 79 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£553/sq ft) was about 28.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

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 Moat House is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8FJ. 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 Moat House. 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 Moat House was lodged in December 2013 at band D and expired in December 2023, 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 Moat House. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 8FJ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Moat House is in council tax band F. 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.
