Overview

About 39 Parkhouse Street

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

39 Parkhouse Street is a semi-detached house in Southwark, London, London (SE5 7TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 226 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. At 21 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (21–91 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2017 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 is 96.5% below the 2017 sale of £7,000,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30,968/sq ft) was about 9892.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 21 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
