40 Ashgrove Road, Ilford, IG3 9XD
About 40 Ashgrove Road
40 Ashgrove Road is an end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 9XD). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £623,000 sits 149.7% above the 2007 sale of £249,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 26.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
