Overview

About 72 St Albans Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

72 St Albans Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemel Hempstead (HP2 4BA). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 is 24.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£421/sq ft) was about 92.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £340,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
