Overview

About 186a

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

186a is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE16 2UN). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2013 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 Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 is 13.6% below the 2015 sale of £499,950, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£499/sq ft) was about 493.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in March 2015.
