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 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. At 46 m² this is the 33rd 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. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a D (score 62), 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 push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 sits 86.3% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. At 46 m² it's 20.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 88 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
