About 3 Elm Road
3 Elm Road is a mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 9DX).

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 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. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £614,000 sits 145.6% above the 2008 sale of £249,999. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£337/sq ft) was about 117.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
