About 7 Empire Square West

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

7 Empire Square West is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE1 4NH). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 519 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. At 48 m² this is the 26th smallest of 60 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–85 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity.
