About 16 Congress Road

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

16 Congress Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Greenwich, London, London (SE2 0LT). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 17% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 14 years since the last transfer (August 2012).
