5 Montreal Road, Ilford, IG1 4SH

5 Montreal Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 4SH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £537,000 sits 82.7% above the 2007 sale of £294,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
