About 2 Arundel Gardens
2 Arundel Gardens is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 9SX). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £551,000 sits 74.9% above the 2010 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 17.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
