About 78a
78a is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE15 5ED). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 61 m² this is the 21st smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a C (score 71).
Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 61 m² the property is well over the postcode median (40 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £403,000 sits 67.9% above the 2008 sale of £240,000.
