About 23 Bowes Lyon Mews
23 Bowes Lyon Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL3 4PF). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 81 m² this is the 9th 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 (March 2020) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
It hasn't traded since May 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 300% above the 1998 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 55.6% below the postcode norm. At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
