Overview

About 5 Blackmore Way

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

5 Blackmore Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 391 m² (around 4209 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band H. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 391 m² the property is well over the postcode median (264 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £2,728,000 sits 143.6% above the 2008 sale of £1,120,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
