About 5 Albert Street
5 Albert Street is a semi-detached house in Shrewsbury (SY1 2HT). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 64 m² this is the 7th smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–190 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 38 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £163,000 sits 165% above the 1997 sale of £61,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 33.4% below the postcode norm. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
