About 18 Empire Square East
18 Empire Square East is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 4NB). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 80 m² this is the 46th 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.
It hasn't traded since March 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 £641,000 sits 70.5% above the 2007 sale of £376,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 32.4% below the postcode norm.
