Overview

About 51b

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

51b is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE5 8LY). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and a basement.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £710,000 sits 189.8% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
