About 18 Lakeside
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. At 119 m² this is the 11th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 107–486 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since May 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.

- Where sold prices come from
