Overview

About 8 Forest Close

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

8 Forest Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Redbridge, London, London (E11 1PY). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2134 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,187,000 sits 63.7% above the 2009 sale of £725,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 198 m² it's 27.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (155 m² median across 7 EPCs).
