Overview

About 1 Beech Crescent

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

1 Beech Crescent is a two-bedroom detached house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8TD). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 69 m² this is the 4th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 64–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).

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. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 50% above the 2008 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 15.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
