About 16 Cheriton Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Cheriton Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL4 9HU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 84 m² it's 27.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 16 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £600,000 is 33.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£498/sq ft) was about 27.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.

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 16 Cheriton Close is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9HU. 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 16 Cheriton 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 16 Cheriton Close was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- 16 Cheriton 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.
