About 1b
1b is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Redbridge, London, London (E11 2TA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. At 53 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (53–171 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 24 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2021. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £361,000 sits 66% above the 2008 sale of £217,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£381/sq ft) was about 26.9% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (132 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
