About 39 Hillside Gardens
39 Hillside Gardens is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 3RH). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since December 1999, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,031,000 sits 524.8% above the 1999 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 53.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 160 m² it's 27% larger than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 15 EPCs).
