About 22a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
22a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1 4ER). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 78 m² this is the 16th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 65–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since April 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £401,000 sits 821.8% above the 1995 sale of £43,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 80.9% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 22a is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 4ER. 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 22a. 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 22a 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. None is matched to 22a. 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 116 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from E1 4ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 22a is in council tax band C. 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.
