17 Castleton Road, Ilford, IG3 9QW
About 17 Castleton Road
17 Castleton Road is a seven-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 9QW). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £810,000 sits 149.2% above the 2008 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 55% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
