Overview

About 88 Langley Grove

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

88 Langley Grove is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9DX). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 599 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 56 m² this is the 13th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (59 versus a best of 79). Other recorded features include a balcony. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 63.4% above the 2009 sale of £153,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£255/sq ft) was about 53.8% below the postcode norm. At 56 m² it's 29.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (43 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.

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 88 Langley Grove is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9DX. 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 88 Langley Grove. 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 88 Langley Grove was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 88 Langley Grove. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9DX, not by walking route.
Council tax band
88 Langley Grove is in council tax band B. 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.
