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 398 m² (around 4289 sq ft) and council tax band H. The latest certificate (February 2012) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 398 m² the property is well over the postcode median (264 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £3,151,000 sits 181.3% above the 2008 sale of £1,120,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
