About 19 Kingsley Flats
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
19 Kingsley Flats is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 5XB). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 30 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (30–62 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 (76 versus a worst of 45). The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 88.6% above the 2009 sale of £123,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£381/sq ft) was about 15.3% below the postcode norm.

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 19 Kingsley Flats is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 5XB. 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 19 Kingsley Flats. 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 19 Kingsley Flats was lodged in May 2021 at band C and is valid until May 2031. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 19 Kingsley Flats. 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 103 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 5XB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 19 Kingsley Flats 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.
