About 74 Hamilton Park West
74 Hamilton Park West is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Islington, London, London (N5 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2013–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,319,000 is 26.4% below the 2022 sale of £3,150,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,032/sq ft) was about 184.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 9 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Most recent transfer: August 2022 at £3,150,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
