Overview

About Bassett House

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

Bassett House is a two-bedroom detached house in Merton, London, London (SW19 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. At 60 m² this is the 50th smallest of 89 units on EPC record in Bassett House, where floor areas span 39–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2008. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in May 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 72.9% above the 2009 sale of £218,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
