About 5 Capstan Way
5 Capstan Way is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Southwark, London, London (SE16 5HG). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1266 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £587,000 sits 134.8% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 32.7% below the postcode norm.
