Overview

About 46 Birkbeck Place

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

46 Birkbeck Place is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lambeth, London, London (SE21 8JU). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 66 m² this is the 14th smallest of 44 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–194 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £535,050. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 66 m² it's 25.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 49 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£753/sq ft) was about 146.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
