About Westlake
Westlake is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE16 2BW). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 49 m² this is the 15th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in Westlake, where floor areas span 20–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 85% above the 2007 sale of £147,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 52.2% below the postcode norm.
