Overview

About 23 Riverside Mews

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

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).

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 23 Riverside Mews is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ST16 2BS. 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 23 Riverside 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 23 Riverside Mews was lodged in August 2019 at band D and is valid until August 2029. 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 23 Riverside 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST16 2BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Riverside Mews is in council tax band C. 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.
