Overview

About 23a

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

23a is a detached house in Islington, London, London (N7 7BL). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1493 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. At 139 m² this is the 38th smallest of 39 units on EPC record in 23a, where floor areas span 39–151 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (69 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £807,000 is 87.8% below the 2013 sale of £6,590,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 51 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in December 2013.
