Overview

About 150 Highbury Hill

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

150 Highbury Hill is a semi-detached house in Islington, London, London (N5 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. At 120 m² this is the 7th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–215 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good.

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £844,000 sits 167.9% above the 2008 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 61.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a basement excavation and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).
