Today's modelled estimate of £1,443,000 is 48.5% below the 2021 sale of £2,800,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.

At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 32 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. 13 planning records sit against the property, 13 approved, 0 refused.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Folgate Street is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 6BX. 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 Folgate Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
