Overview

About 197 Southwark Bridge Road

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

197 Southwark Bridge Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 77 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (57 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

Held since June 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 197 Southwark Bridge Road is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 0ED. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 197 Southwark Bridge Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 197 Southwark Bridge Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 97 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 0ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
197 Southwark Bridge Road is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
