About 15 Compass House

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

The latest certificate (November 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.

The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 17 units on file.

It hasn't traded since October 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.
