Overview

About 2 Axminster Road

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

2 Axminster Road is a mid-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N7 6BL). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–139 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2019); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. 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 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £394,000 sits 103.1% above the 2007 sale of £194,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£474/sq ft) was about 43.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
