About White Tops
White Tops is a six-bedroom detached house in Harrow (HA1 3HE). It has a recorded floor area of 194 m² (around 2088 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot and a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump.
At 194 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£615/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. Sold May 2021 for £1,285,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
