Before you buy in AL1
What to check on any AL1 property
Flood risk
The Environment Agency maps flood risk at address level — river, sea and surface-water sources are all assessed. Properties in St Albans can vary significantly from one street to the next, so the only reliable check is for the specific address.
EPC energy rating
The EPC register holds energy performance certificates for most homes in England and Wales. A low EPC rating means higher energy bills — checking it before you offer lets you factor running costs into your budget.
Planning applications
Nearby planning applications can change a view, add traffic or bring new development. A report surfaces applications within a set radius of the AL1 address from the last two years.
Sold price history
Land Registry records every residential sale in England and Wales. Checking the sold-price history for a AL1 property tells you what it last sold for and whether the current asking price is in line with the local market.
