About 4a
4a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harrow (HA1 4JG). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 84 m² this is the 7th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–123 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 19 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £388,000 sits 68.7% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 84 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 18 EPCs).
