About 5 Douthwaite Square

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

5 Douthwaite Square is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 2UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 82 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in September 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
