How the estimate is made

The estimate for 24e is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8JN. 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 24e

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

24e is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8JN). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. At 47 m² this is the 5th smallest of 48 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 48 units on file.

It hasn't traded since April 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 sits 188% above the 1997 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 63.6% below the postcode norm. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 24e is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8JN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 24e. 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 24e was lodged in January 2024 at band D and is valid until January 2034. 6 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 24e. 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 8JN, not by walking route.
Council tax band
24e is in council tax band C. 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.
