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

It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 29 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 25 units on EPC record in Watergate Mansions, where floor areas span 28–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 25 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.
It changed hands recently, sold November 2025 for £115,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.

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 Watergate Mansions is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SY1 1DW. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Watergate Mansions. 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 Watergate Mansions was lodged in September 2020 at band D and is valid until September 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Watergate Mansions. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SY1 1DW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Watergate Mansions is in council tax band A. 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.
