Overview

About Fairshot Court

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

Fairshot Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9ED). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). At 95 m² this is the 6th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in Fairshot Court, where floor areas span 41–105 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £635,000 sits 154% above the 1999 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 31.1% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 16.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 6 EPCs).

How to read this page

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 Fairshot Court is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9ED. 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 Fairshot Court. 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 Fairshot Court was lodged in June 2021 at band D and is valid until June 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Fairshot Court. 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 9ED, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Fairshot Court is in council tax band F. 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.
