About 1b

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

1b is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E11 1JX). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1868 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 174 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £987,000 sits 124.3% above the 2011 sale of £440,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 25.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
