About 2 Harmsworth Street
2 Harmsworth Street is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE17 3TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 53 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (53–158 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
