About 18 Gibbons Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Gibbons Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9EP). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £653,000 is 36% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£544/sq ft) was about 49% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. At 82 m² it's 26.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 14 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.

Start your researchHow 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 18 Gibbons Close is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9EP. 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 18 Gibbons Close. 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 18 Gibbons Close was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 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. 1 application is matched to 18 Gibbons Close. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9EP, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 18 Gibbons Close 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.
