Overview

About 8 Kingsbury Mews

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

8 Kingsbury Mews is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 4BY). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a C (score 79), 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 89).

Held since January 2009 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £534,000 sits 137.3% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 49.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2018. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Kingsbury Mews is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4BY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Kingsbury Mews. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Kingsbury Mews was lodged in August 2021 at band C and is valid until August 2031. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Kingsbury Mews. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4BY, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Kingsbury Mews is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
