Overview

About 38 Swete Street

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

38 Swete Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newham, London, London (E13 0BS). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 46 m² this is the 10th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–137 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 sits 94.1% above the 2013 sale of £119,000. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2012. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 46 m² it's 23.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 29 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
