About 9 Culvers Retreat
9 Culvers Retreat is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Carshalton (SM5 2BE). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 51 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £421,000 sits 144.1% above the 2003 sale of £172,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 21.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
