Overview

About 42 St Benets Grove

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

42 St Benets Grove is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Carshalton (SM5 1AX). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £420,000 sits 101% above the 2007 sale of £209,000. At 79 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 28 EPCs).
