About 8 Elephant Lane
8 Elephant Lane is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE16 4JD). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1559 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a C (score 73).

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 41 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £977,000 sits 62.8% above the 2009 sale of £600,000. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2014. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
