About 54a
54a is a one-bedroom detached house in Enfield (EN1 1BN). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. At 59 m² this is the 13th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–173 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 37 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 sits 92.3% above the 2009 sale of £155,000. At 59 m² it's 16.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 36 EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2014.
