Overview

About 23a

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

23a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1 1HE). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. At 83 m² this is the 7th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–269 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

One planning record on file: a basement excavation approved in 2008. Past consents include a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 83 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 25 EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2001–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £724,000 is 22.5% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£662/sq ft) was about 40.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23a is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 1HE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 23a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 23a was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 23a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 19 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 115 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from E1 1HE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
