About 1 Oakley Yard

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

1 Oakley Yard is a semi-detached house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E2 6DU). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 44 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
