Get started26 Albert Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ilford (IG1 1HN). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.

Held since June 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £473,000 sits 318.6% above the 2003 sale of £113,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 72.9% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused.
