About 3 Albury Close

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

The latest certificate (March 2014) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 sits 217.5% above the 1999 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 29.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
