Overview

About 4 Sidney Square

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

4 Sidney Square is a mid-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1 2EY). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 1996 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,002,000 sits 627.4% above the 1996 sale of £137,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 77.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2025. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 4 Sidney Square is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 2EY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Sidney Square. 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 4 Sidney Square was lodged in April 2011 at band D and expired in April 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Sidney Square. 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 114 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from E1 2EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Sidney Square is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
