Overview

About 5 Cape Yard

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

5 Cape Yard is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 2JU). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. At 103 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (44–103 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £732,000 sits 77.5% above the 2007 sale of £412,500.
