About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N4 3LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 745 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £813,000 is 25.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£872/sq ft) was about 113.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
