5 Heyford Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lambeth, London, London (SW8 1EA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2021) 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 May 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. At 74 m² this is the 18th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–163 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 23 units on file. Other recorded features include a loft.
Held since September 1997 — that's 29 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 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 sits 597.6% above the 1997 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 73% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
