Overview

About 20 Elmstead Road

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

20 Elmstead Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 8AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £541,000 sits 61.5% above the 2015 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£264/sq ft) was about 45.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
