Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a semi-detached house in London (SE3 7UE). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £468,000 sits 118.7% above the 2008 sale of £214,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£258/sq ft) was about 29% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.

    In report

    (T1) Cedar: crown thin by 30%, crown lift to 5m over road and remove snapped/dead branches There are concerns about potential failure or unsuitability of the tree in adverse weather conditions. This is a fairly common trait in large Cedar trees. Unfortunately, reducing the height or size of this type of tree is not recommended; it will ruin the aesthetics/form of the tree and can sometimes lead to decline of the tree in question. For this reason I have recommended thinning the canopy. This will retain the overall size and shape whilst reducing the weight on the branches and allowing wind/snow to pass through the crown more easily. I would also suggest slightly raising the bottom of the canopy to allow large vehicles to pass through the road. There are also a number of snapped/dead branches which need removing.
