About 21 Balgowan Street
21 Balgowan Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Greenwich, London, London (SE18 1EB). It has a recorded floor area of 12 m² (around 129 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 12 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (12–125 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 is 13.1% above the 2015 sale price.
