How the estimate is made
The estimate for 42c is modelled from its 12 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 5HL. 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.

About 42c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
42c is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 5HL). It has a recorded floor area of 12 m² (around 129 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. At 12 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (12–98 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (79 versus a worst of 53). The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.

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 42c is modelled from its 12 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 5HL. 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. No sale is recorded for 42c, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 42c was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 42c. 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 100 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 5HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 42c is in council tax band D. 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.
