1 Chicksand Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1 5LD). It has a recorded floor area of 22 m² (around 237 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 22 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (22–141 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 22 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 57 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £762,000 sits 52.4% above the 2004 sale of £500,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,111/sq ft) was about 342.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
1 Chicksand Street sits at the bottom of the postcode for energy efficiency — meaningful headroom to improve.
