About 9 Chiltern Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Chiltern Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 9SW). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £532,000 is 20.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£717/sq ft) was about 100.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.

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 9 Chiltern Road is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9SW. 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 9 Chiltern 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 9 Chiltern Road was lodged in July 2014 at band D and expired in July 2024, 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 9 Chiltern 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 9SW, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 9 Chiltern Road is in council tax band D. 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.
