Overview

About 8 Kitson Road

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

8 Kitson Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE5 7LF). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2020) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in September 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 139 m² it's 21.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,024,000 sits 120.2% above the 2007 sale of £465,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
