About 34 New Road
34 New Road is a mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 8AR). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 68 m² this is the 5th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (71 versus a worst of 53). The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2018. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since March 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 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 113.3% above the 2007 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 46.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs).
