Overview

About 4 Balfour Road

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

4 Balfour Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hounslow (TW3 1JX). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2020. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). At 49 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–164 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 16 units on file.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 is 25.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£506/sq ft) was about 51.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.
