76 The Hill is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8PS). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump.
At 56 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £452,000 is 15.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£647/sq ft) was about 138.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2021 for £390,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
