About 87a

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

87a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E11 1JA). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 72 m² this is the 15th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–165 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 29 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2009.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
