Overview

About 1 Chicksand Street

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

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.

How 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 1 Chicksand Street is modelled from its 22 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 5LD. 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 1 Chicksand Street. 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 1 Chicksand Street was lodged in April 2011 at band E and expired in April 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 1 Chicksand Street. 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 5LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
