About 57 Kensington Road

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

It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 56 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since November 2008.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 52.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
