About 1 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 High Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9DG). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (40 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £806,000 is 29% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£599/sq ft) was about 80.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (November 2016).

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 1 High Street is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9DG. 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 1 High Street. 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 1 High Street was lodged in May 2016 at band E and expired in May 2026, 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 1 High Street. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9DG, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 High Street is in council tax band E. 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.
