About 5 Lombard Avenue
5 Lombard Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 8ER). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 sits 87.7% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. At 110 m² it's 20.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 20 EPCs).
