About 23 Balaclava Road
23 Balaclava Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 5PX). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
Across 2000–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £846,000 sits 73.2% above the 2013 sale of £488,500.
