About 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is an end-of-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1 5LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2022. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good. At 36 m² this is the 9th smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–235 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 38 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £363,000 is 92.7% below the 2015 sale of £5,000,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£12,903/sq ft) was about 1265.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 16 planning records sit against the property, 14 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in August 2015.

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 5a is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 5LJ. 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 5a. 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 5a was lodged in December 2022 at band C and is valid until December 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. 16 applications are matched to 5a. 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 115 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from E1 5LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
