Overview

About 17 St Leonards Crescent

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

17 St Leonards Crescent is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 74 m² this is the 4th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 70–150 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
