About 22 Sophia Square

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

22 Sophia Square is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE16 5XL). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–87 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 29 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 39.2% above the 2007 sale price.
