Overview

About 5 Butlers & Colonial Wharf

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

5 Butlers & Colonial Wharf is a detached house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 2PX). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 595 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 55 m² this is the 7th smallest of 46 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–170 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 46 units on file.

Held since November 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £573,000 sits 247.3% above the 1999 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 31.9% below the postcode norm. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 45 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Butlers & Colonial Wharf is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 2PX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Butlers & Colonial Wharf. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Butlers & Colonial Wharf was lodged in March 2009 at band E and expired in March 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Butlers & Colonial Wharf. 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 101 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 2PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Butlers & Colonial Wharf is in council tax band D. 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.
