About 11 Barnfield Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
11 Barnfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL4 9UF). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £665,000 sits 56.5% above the 2014 sale of £425,000. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

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 11 Barnfield Road is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 9UF. 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 11 Barnfield 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 11 Barnfield Road was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 11 Barnfield 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 9UF, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 11 Barnfield 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.
