About 130 St Albans Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
130 St Albans Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9LL). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 919 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £658,000 sits 68.7% above the 2009 sale of £390,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£424/sq ft) was about 53.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

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 130 St Albans Road is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9LL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 130 St Albans Road. 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 130 St Albans Road was lodged in June 2009 at band F and expired in June 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. 3 applications are matched to 130 St Albans Road. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9LL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 130 St Albans Road 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.
