About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 4AG). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 26 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (26–39 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (57 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home.

Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 is 85.6% below the 2022 sale of £1,810,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£6,467/sq ft) was about 1259.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 26 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 12 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £1,810,000 in September 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
