Overview

About 20 Gilkes Crescent

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

20 Gilkes Crescent is a detached house in Southwark, London, London (SE21 7BS). It has a recorded floor area of 261 m² (around 2809 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

Held since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £3,220,000 sits 78.9% above the 2007 sale of £1,800,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£641/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 261 m² it's 16.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (224 m² median across 15 EPCs).
