About 131a
131a is a mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 4BH). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 is 11.1% below the 2015 sale of £350,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£664/sq ft) was about 116.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in September 2015.
