How the estimate is made

The estimate for 31a is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9BJ. 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.

Overview

About 31a

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

31a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 9BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 41 m² this is the 4th smallest of 42 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–169 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 42 units on file. Other recorded features include a loft. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It changed hands recently, sold June 2025 for £255,000. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 41 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2008–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£578/sq ft) was about 74.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 31a is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9BJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 31a. 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 31a was lodged in November 2015 at band D and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 31a. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9BJ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
31a is in council tax band C. 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.
