Overview

About 7 Bedford Road

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

7 Bedford Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 1EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £497,000 sits 471.3% above the 1998 sale of £87,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 59.1% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
