About 39 Congo Road
39 Congo Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Greenwich, London, London (SE18 1TF). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for an extension is awaiting a decision. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 97.6% above the 2007 sale of £204,995.
