Get started1 De Vere Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kensington And Chelsea, London, London (W8 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
