About 20 Walpole Road

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

At 27 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–228 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 79.4% below the 2022 sale of £900,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£3,120/sq ft) was about 1028.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold January 2022 for £900,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
