About 16 Empire Square East
16 Empire Square East is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 4NB). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2020) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity.

Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.
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 £376,000 sits 51.9% above the 2007 sale of £247,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£489/sq ft) was about 24.3% below the postcode norm. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 72 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
