5 Marsh Close is an end-of-terrace house in Waltham Cross (EN8 7JF). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 sits 305.5% above the 1998 sale of £91,500.
