About 21 Balgowan Street

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

21 Balgowan Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Greenwich, London, London (SE18 1EB). It has a recorded floor area of 13 m² (around 140 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 13 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (13–125 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 (March 2016) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 13 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £388,000 is 27.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,180/sq ft) was about 1595.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
