About 18 Argyll Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

At 63 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (63–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (November 2021) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 38.9% below the 2023 sale of £190,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.
