23 Chigwell Park Drive, Chigwell, IG7 5BD

23 Chigwell Park Drive is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Chigwell (IG7 5BD). It has a recorded floor area of 212 m² (around 2282 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 212 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £987,000 sits 111.1% above the 2007 sale of £467,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 48.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
