About 57 Thomas More Street
57 Thomas More Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 1YD). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. At 49 m² this is the 8th smallest of 57 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–136 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £487,000 sits 231.3% above the 1998 sale of £147,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 56 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
