Overview

About 34 Forest Grove

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

34 Forest Grove is a three-bedroom detached house in Hackney, London, London (E8 3HX). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. At 88 m² this is the 16th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–96 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 88 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £758,000 is 21.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£660/sq ft) was about 50.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in October 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
