About 108a
108a is an end-of-terrace house in Lambeth, London, London (SE5 8RX). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 36 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–105 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (80 versus a worst of 46). The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 sits 287.2% above the 1998 sale of £78,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 21.2% below the postcode norm. 10 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 7 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).
