Overview

About 23 Forest Road

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

23 Forest Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E11 1JT). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £647,000 sits 117.8% above the 2007 sale of £297,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 27% below the postcode norm.
