Overview

About 26a

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

26a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Surbiton (KT6 4JH). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a loft.

Held since December 1999 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £588,000 sits 258.5% above the 1999 sale of £164,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 50.4% below the postcode norm.
