Overview

About 10 Empire Square East

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

10 Empire Square East is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 4NB). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 77 m² this is the 40th smallest of 73 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–113 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 73 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. 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 £574,000 is 42.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£486/sq ft) was about 24.2% below the postcode norm.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 10 Empire Square East is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SE1 4NB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 10 Empire Square East. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 10 Empire Square East was lodged in January 2021 at band C and is valid until January 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 10 Empire Square East. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 102 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SE1 4NB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
10 Empire Square East is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
