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

23 Riverside Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Stafford (ST16 2BS). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 56 m² this is the 11th 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 (August 2019) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 15.2% below the 2007 sale of £145,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. It hasn't traded since August 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).
