Overview

About Turnstone House

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

Turnstone House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. At 68 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 14 units on EPC record in Turnstone House, where floor areas span 33–255 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 14 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Held since July 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 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (108 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £666,000 is 48% above the 2009 sale price.
