Overview

About 26 St Benets Grove

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

26 St Benets Grove is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Carshalton (SM5 1AX). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2011–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£597/sq ft) was about 143% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: December 2022 at £405,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
