17 Riverside Mews, Espleys Yard, Stafford, ST16 2BS

17 Riverside Mews is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Stafford (ST16 2BS). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 59 m² this is the 15th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–90 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2018. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 23.8% below the 2007 sale of £160,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs).
