Overview

About 71 Cowley Road

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

71 Cowley Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 3JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a G (score 4), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £648,000 is 27.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£439/sq ft) was about 67% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
