About 2 Empire Square East
2 Empire Square East is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 4NB). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. At 49 m² this is the 15th 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. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity.
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 £421,000 sits 70.1% above the 2007 sale of £247,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£469/sq ft) was about 27.4% below the postcode norm. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 72 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
