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. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on electricity.
Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 is 86.2% 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.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 4AG. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in March 2018 at band D and is valid until March 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 12 applications are matched to Flat 1. 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 98 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 4AG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 is in council tax band B. 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.
