About 52 New Road
52 New Road is an end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 8AR). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £436,000 sits 531.9% above the 1998 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 75.8% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
