Overview

About Flat 4

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

Flat 4 is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 2NE). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. At 77 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

Today's modelled estimate of £695,000 is 42.1% below the 2024 sale of £1,200,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,448/sq ft) was about 275.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Sold October 2024 for £1,200,000.
