Overview

About 23 Ada Road

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

23 Ada Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE5 7RW). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating 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 July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
