About 5 Cape Yard
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.
