Overview

About 97 Forest Road

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

97 Forest Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Loughton (IG10 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2011. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £604,000 sits 72.6% above the 2007 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£452/sq ft) was about 18% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
