About Flat 5
Flat 5 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 3SU). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 34 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
It hasn't traded since October 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 £371,000 sits 603.3% above the 1998 sale of £52,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 79.8% below the postcode norm. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 54 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
