About The Empress

At 70 m² this is the 36th smallest of 41 units on EPC record in The Empress, where floor areas span 36–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 21.3% below the 2007 sale of £169,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 70 m² it's 25% larger than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 40 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
