About 16 Grand Walk
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Grand Walk is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1 4PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 is 10% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£762/sq ft) was about 74.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 16 Grand Walk is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 4PJ. 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 16 Grand Walk. 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 16 Grand Walk was lodged in March 2022 at band D and is valid until March 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 16 Grand Walk. 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 111 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from E1 4PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Grand Walk 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.
