Overview

About 1 Birch View

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

1 Birch View is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrow (HA1 1RB). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–56 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 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. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 is 41.3% above the 2007 sale price.
