Overview

About 61 Colombo Road

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

61 Colombo Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 4RH). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £534,000 sits 113.6% above the 2021 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 28.3% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £250,000 in February 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
