Overview

About 2 Albion Mews

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

2 Albion Mews is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chester (CH1 1RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 42 m² this is the 8th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–50 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 11 units on file.

It hasn't traded since September 1997, a hold of 29 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 £128,000 sits 220.4% above the 1997 sale of £39,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 60.6% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 29 EPCs).

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 2 Albion Mews is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 1RQ. 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 2 Albion 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 2 Albion Mews was lodged in November 2023 at band E and is valid until November 2033. 3 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 2 Albion 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 1RQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Albion 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.
