About 13 Pier Head
13 Pier Head is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 1PN). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1826 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£575/sq ft) was about 28.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 16 planning records sit against the property, 14 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension, a basement excavation and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in December 2011, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
