About 166 St Albans Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
166 St Albans Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9LP). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1147 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 107 m² it's 15.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 15 EPCs). Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
