8 Charlbury Gardens, Ilford, IG3 9TU
About 8 Charlbury Gardens
8 Charlbury Gardens is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 9TU). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1047 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 75.6% above the 2008 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 38.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
