Overview

About 25 Balaclava Road

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

25 Balaclava Road is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 5PX). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 949 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £770,000 sits 111% above the 2012 sale of £365,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£385/sq ft) was about 31.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in January 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.

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 25 Balaclava Road is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 5PX. 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 25 Balaclava Road. 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 25 Balaclava Road was lodged in May 2011 at band E and expired in May 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 25 Balaclava Road. 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 101 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 5PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
25 Balaclava Road 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.
