Overview

About 257 Harrow Road

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

257 Harrow Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wembley (HA9 6DX). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. At 41 m² this is the 8th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–57 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 16 units on file.

It hasn't traded since March 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 1163.4% above the 1995 sale of £20,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 74.2% below the postcode norm. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
