Overview

About 70 Elwood Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

70 Elwood Street is an end-of-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N5 1EH). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 55.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £734,000 sits 54.5% above the 2009 sale of £475,000. 10 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion, a basement excavation and HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
