Flat 5, 8 Embankment Gardens, Kensington And Chelsea, London, SW3 4LJ
About Flat 5
Flat 5 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kensington And Chelsea, London, London (SW3 4LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–154 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £461,000 is 21.4% below the 2022 sale of £586,604, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,879/sq ft) was about 180.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: February 2022 at £586,604. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
