Overview

About 5 Falmer Road

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

5 Falmer Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 64 m² this is the 6th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–206 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area.
