About 255 Peterborough Road
255 Peterborough Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Carshalton (SM5 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2022 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £472,000 is 22.6% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£377/sq ft) was about 69% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold October 2022 for £385,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
