Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 3HH). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 is 47.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£367/sq ft) was about 77.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
