About 87 Bedford Road
87 Bedford Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in November 2021 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £645,000 is 40.2% above the 2022 sale price. Most recent transfer: January 2022 at £460,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
