About 21 Whittlesey Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Whittlesey Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lambeth, London, London (SE1 8SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in December 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,590,000 sits 478.2% above the 1997 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 73.9% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.

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 21 Whittlesey Street is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 8SZ. 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 21 Whittlesey Street. 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 21 Whittlesey Street was lodged in February 2012 at band E and expired in February 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 21 Whittlesey Street. 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 81 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 8SZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Whittlesey Street is in council tax band F. 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.
