Overview

About 17 Elphinstone Road

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

17 Elphinstone Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 5EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2015) 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 June 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £637,000 sits 130% above the 2007 sale of £277,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 18.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
