Overview

About First Floor Flat

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

First Floor Flat is an end-of-terrace house in London (W12 8DA). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 sits 77.7% above the 2008 sale of £265,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£328/sq ft) was about 49.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
