About 36 Merton Road
36 Merton Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrow (HA2 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 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 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £663,000 sits 75.6% above the 2009 sale of £377,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£281/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. 10 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused.
