Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in London (SW14 8LW). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 107 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (105–107 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (77 versus a worst of 61). Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 107 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £760,000 sits 74.7% above the 2007 sale of £435,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
