18a, Kentish Road, Belvedere, DA17 5BN
About 18a
18a is a detached house in Belvedere (DA17 5BN). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 457 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 43 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (43–121 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 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. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 sits 81.8% above the 2008 sale of £110,000. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
