Overview

About 12 Bowdon Road

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

12 Bowdon Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 8JB). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since November 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £883,000 sits 881.1% above the 1998 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 79.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
