2a, Tycehurst Hill, Loughton, IG10 1BU
About 2a
2a is a three-bedroom detached house in Loughton (IG10 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 985 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £712,000 sits 52.5% above the 2009 sale of £467,000. At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (195 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
