Overview

About 24 Preston Gardens

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

24 Preston Gardens is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 3QG). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since January 1999 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £641,000 sits 434.2% above the 1999 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 69.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs).
