Overview

About 21a

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

21a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE5 7SW). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 60), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since February 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £508,000 sits 106.1% above the 2008 sale of £246,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£382/sq ft) was about 33.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused.
