Overview

About 19 Highfield Road

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

19 Highfield Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9BU). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (138 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £558,000 is 16.3% above the 2021 sale price.

Last sale on file: £480,000 in May 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
