Overview

About 26a

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

26a is a mid-terrace house in London (E17 6RA). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 40 m² this is the 8th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 10–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in July 1998. 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 £298,000 sits 684.2% above the 1998 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 61% below the postcode norm. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 50 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
