About 15 Bowes Lyon Mews
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Bowes Lyon Mews is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 4PF). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 731 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. At 68 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£650/sq ft) was about 103.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £475,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Bowes Lyon Mews is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4PF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 15 Bowes Lyon 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 15 Bowes Lyon Mews was lodged in January 2011 at band C and expired in January 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 Bowes Lyon 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 4PF, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 15 Bowes Lyon Mews is in council tax band D. 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.
