Overview

About 196 198

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

196 198 is a mid-terrace house in Ealing, London, London (W4 5DL). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2018. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 83 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 65 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £641,000 is 47.7% above the 2009 sale price.
