About 13 Elm Road
13 Elm Road is a semi-detached house in Richmond Upon Thames, London, London (SW14 7JL). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–236 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 is 26.5% below the 2014 sale of £540,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,140/sq ft) was about 170% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
