About 5 Cairo Road
5 Cairo Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 3BB). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1256 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -13.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £735,000 sits 150.9% above the 2009 sale of £293,000.
