About 56 Abbey Road
56 Abbey Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Belvedere (DA17 5DE). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 85.9% above the 2013 sale of £191,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£329/sq ft) was about 32.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
