Overview

About Merton Lodge

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

Merton Lodge is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Lambeth, London, London (SW16 2EY). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 687 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 64 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Merton Lodge, where floor areas span 30–69 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (41 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 65.6% above the 2007 sale of £247,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£359/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
