Overview

About Flat 4

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

Flat 4 is a mid-terrace house in London (SE1 8HA). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 54 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £511,000 is 46% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£602/sq ft) was about 16.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 54 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 37 EPCs).

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 Flat 4 is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 8HA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Flat 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 Flat 4 was lodged in September 2021 at band D and is valid until September 2031. 2 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 Flat 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 91 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 8HA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
