About Ropeworks
Ropeworks is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barking (IG11 7GS). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a C (score 74). Earlier certificates rated it B (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 38 m² this is the 5th smallest of 71 units on EPC record in Ropeworks, where floor areas span 32–87 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 71 units on file.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 is 29.7% above the 2007 sale price.
