18 Spencer Mews is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lambeth, London, London (SW8 1HF). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and a basement.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £866,000 sits 518.6% above the 1997 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 84.3% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
