Overview

About 12 Elmworth Grove

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

12 Elmworth Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lambeth, London, London (SE21 8RA). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Elmworth Grove is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE21 8RA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 12 Elmworth Grove. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 12 Elmworth Grove was lodged in August 2015 at band E and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 12 Elmworth Grove. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 60 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE21 8RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Elmworth Grove is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
