About 27 Albert Street

The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sale on file: £505,000 in January 2022. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005.
