Overview

About 1 Drakewood Road

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

1 Drakewood Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Lambeth, London, London (SW16 5DT). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £602,000 sits 225.4% above the 2001 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 47.6% below the postcode norm.
