About 4 Downshall Court
4 Downshall Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Ilford (IG3 8HB). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 72 m² this is the 5th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
