Overview

About 1 4

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

1 4 is an end-of-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 4SY). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. At 45 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in 1 4, where floor areas span 43–76 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 (62 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 is 74.6% below the 2022 sale of £1,800,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 45 m² it's 15.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 7 EPCs). Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £1,800,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

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 1 4 is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 4SY. 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 1 4. 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 1 4 was lodged in March 2017 at band D and is valid until March 2027. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 1 4. 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 4SY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 4 is in council tax band F. 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.
