About Indigo House
Indigo House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lewisham, London, London (SE4 1BN). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. At 40 m² this is the 5th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Indigo House, where floor areas span 32–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file.
Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 53% above the 2008 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£430/sq ft) was about 16.1% below the postcode norm.
