Overview

About Flat 5

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

Flat 5 is a mid-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 1PN). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 65 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (65–223 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £677,000 sits 97.7% above the 2004 sale of £342,500. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (136 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
