About Matilda House
Matilda House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 1LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 769 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 71 m² this is the 28th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in Matilda House, where floor areas span 43–84 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 71 m² it's 23.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 28 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 sits 60.8% above the 2009 sale of £301,000.
