42b, Valentines Road, Ilford, IG1 4SA
About 42b
42b is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 4SA). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. At 52 m² this is the 30th smallest of 54 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–269 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 61.5% above the 2007 sale of £169,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 44.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
