About 52a

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

52a is a mid-terrace house in Ealing, London, London (W5 4BD). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 70 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–130 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since.

Across 2017–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 is 21.3% below the 2022 sale of £620,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£823/sq ft) was about 97.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 70 m² it's 17.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 44 EPCs). Sold July 2022 for £620,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
