About 21 Lovelace Road
21 Lovelace Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Lambeth, London, London (SE21 8JY). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
