Overview

About 20 Beech Way

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

20 Beech Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8LY). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1901 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £942,000 is 44.5% above the 2009 sale price.
