Overview

About 124a

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

124a is a mid-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N5 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 107 m² this is the 13th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–231 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 21 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2015–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,320,000 is 10.5% below the 2021 sale of £1,475,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,281/sq ft) was about 247% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 107 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold April 2021 for £1,475,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
