It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Imperial Buildings (31–82 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Imperial Buildings is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS1 1DP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Imperial Buildings. 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 Imperial Buildings was lodged in February 2013 at band B and expired in February 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Imperial Buildings. 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 36 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS1 1DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Imperial Buildings 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.
