Overview

About 2 Gilkes Crescent

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

2 Gilkes Crescent is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Southwark, London, London (SE21 7BS). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2005–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,992,000 is 17% below the 2022 sale of £2,400,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,394/sq ft) was about 83.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 160 m² it's 28.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (224 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Sold October 2022 for £2,400,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
