Overview

About 17 Colombo Road

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

17 Colombo Road is a mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 4RH). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 62.6% above the 2021 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£299/sq ft) was about 27.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £270,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
