52a, Streatham High Road, Lambeth, London, SW16 1DA
About 52a
52a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lambeth, London, London (SW16 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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 42 m² the property is well over the postcode median (32 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 63.2% above the 2007 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£420/sq ft) was about 47.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
