About Flat 3
Flat 3 is a mid-terrace house in London (SE1 3SU). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 53 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–54 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).
It hasn't traded since April 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £468,000 sits 460.5% above the 1998 sale of £83,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 79.5% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it's 15.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 54 EPCs).
