47 Hope Close is a two-bedroom property in Lewisham, London, London (SE12 0BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 631 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. At 59 m² this is the 9th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (65 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £245,000 sits 469.8% above the 1996 sale of £43,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 72.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2009. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
