About 2 Northside
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Northside is a four-bedroom detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9BS). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,128,000 sits 88% above the 2013 sale of £600,000. Last sold in January 2013, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2 Northside is modelled from its 165 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9BS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Northside. 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 2 Northside was lodged in September 2020 at band C and is valid until September 2030. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Northside. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9BS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 2 Northside is in council tax band G. 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.
