About 24 Boling Brook
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24 Boling Brook is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL4 9NP). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 53 m² this is the 8th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–135 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 51.2% above the 2007 sale of £169,950. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 24 Boling Brook is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9NP. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 24 Boling Brook. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
