Overview

About 8 Albion Mews

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

8 Albion Mews is an end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH1 1RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2017) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on electricity. At 48 m² this is the 10th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–50 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 11 units on file.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 74.9% above the 2008 sale of £72,600. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 35.4% below the postcode norm.
