Overview

About 16 Garrard Way

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

16 Garrard Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8PE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £542,000 sits 116.8% above the 2009 sale of £249,950.

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 16 Garrard Way is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8PE. 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 16 Garrard Way. 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 16 Garrard Way was lodged in February 2026 at band D and is valid until February 2036. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Garrard Way. 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 8PE, not by walking route.
Council tax band
16 Garrard Way is in council tax band E. 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.
