Overview

About 7 Flax Mews

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

7 Flax Mews is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Markyate, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8NX). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 45 m² this is the 8th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–47 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £182,000 sits 52.3% above the 2006 sale of £119,500.

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 7 Flax Mews is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8NX. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Flax 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 7 Flax Mews was lodged in May 2010 at band E and expired in May 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Flax 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 8NX, not by walking route.
Council tax band
7 Flax Mews is in council tax band B. 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.
