Get started5 Jamaica Road is a semi-detached house in Thornton Heath (CR7 7HD). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.
Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 91.7% above the 2008 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 27.9% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 8 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
5 Jamaica Road's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
A recent planning application at 5 Jamaica Road was refused — worth checking the council file.
