3 The Drive, Waltham Forest, London, E4 7AJ

3 The Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E4 7AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 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. At 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £909,000 sits 106.6% above the 2009 sale of £440,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
