About 4 Kingsbury Mews
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Kingsbury Mews is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 4BY). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90).

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 4 Kingsbury Mews. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
