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 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
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. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (123 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
