About 72 Upper Abbey Road
72 Upper Abbey Road is a mid-terrace house in Belvedere (DA17 5AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 1995 — that's 31 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 £328,000 sits 583.3% above the 1995 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 64.7% below the postcode norm. At 70 m² it's 18.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 38 EPCs).
