54a, Eastwood Road, Ilford, IG3 8XA
About 54a
54a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Ilford (IG3 8XA). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a C (score 72).
It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 198 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £713,000 sits 55% above the 2008 sale of £460,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 16.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 9 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 6 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
