About 242c

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

242c is a detached house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E2 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. At 83 m² this is the 18th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–136 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.

Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 is 31.6% below the 2021 sale of £700,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£784/sq ft) was about 100.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 83 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £700,000 in April 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
