About 15 Empire Square East
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £773,000 is 24.6% below the 2014 sale of £1,025,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Empire Square East is modelled from its 60 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 15 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 15 Empire Square East was lodged in March 2014 at band B and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 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
- 15 Empire Square East is in council tax band D. 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.
