Overview

About 1 Mcdowall Road

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

1 Mcdowall Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE5 9LD). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1336 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £813,000 sits 84.8% above the 2011 sale of £440,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
