About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a semi-detached house in Camden, London, London (NW6 2QA). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £1,182,000 sits 118.9% above the 2009 sale of £540,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£850/sq ft) was about 28.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
