About 31 Chester Road
31 Chester Road is a mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 7HP). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 868 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £627,000 sits 172.6% above the 2009 sale of £230,000. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2025. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
