Overview

About 1 Holywell Mews

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

1 Holywell Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £662,000 sits 69.7% above the 2007 sale of £390,000.
