2 Rochester Gardens, Ilford, IG1 3LZ

2 Rochester Gardens is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 3LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1401 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a G (score 7), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 130 m² it's 23.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (171 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £671,000 sits 83.8% above the 2009 sale of £365,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
