Overview

About 8 Blue Anchor Yard

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

8 Blue Anchor Yard is a mid-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1 8LR). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1085 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £785,000 sits 91.5% above the 2009 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£378/sq ft) was about 51.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Blue Anchor Yard is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in E1 8LR. 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 8 Blue Anchor Yard. 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 8 Blue Anchor Yard was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Blue Anchor Yard. 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 108 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from E1 8LR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Blue Anchor Yard is in council tax band E. 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.
