About 16 Express Drive
16 Express Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 9QD). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2018 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since June 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. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 91.8% above the 2009 sale of £220,000.
