About 22 Empire Square
22 Empire Square is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N7 6JN). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 524 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. At 49 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–154 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 32 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £421,000 sits 53.1% above the 2007 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£525/sq ft) was about 83.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).
