Overview

About 2a

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

2a is an end-of-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 8LD). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. At 35 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–113 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom.

Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 64.5% below the 2024 sale of £850,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,256/sq ft) was about 218.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Sold April 2024 for £850,000.
