Overview

About 47 Birch Grove

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

47 Birch Grove is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E11 4YG). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 88 m² it's 15.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 29 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2014–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £640,000 is 38.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£487/sq ft) was about 91.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (February 2016).
