Overview

About 45a

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

45a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lewisham, London, London (SE4 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 61 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 33 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £529,000 is 39.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£579/sq ft) was about 92.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 45a is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SE4 1DT. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 45a. 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 45a was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 45a. 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 75 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE4 1DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
45a 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.
