Overview

About 26 Sunset Road

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

26 Sunset Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Lambeth, London, London (SE5 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion, a porch and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2015–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,363,000 is 11.3% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£739/sq ft) was about 96.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
