Overview

About 2 Rowan Close

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

2 Rowan Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Merton, London, London (SW16 5JD). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 703 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 65 m² this is the 6th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 62–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (63 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 is 26.4% above the 2014 sale price.
