About Twyford House
Twyford House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N5 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record. At 51 m² this is the 16th smallest of 36 units on EPC record in Twyford House, where floor areas span 20–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 36 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band.
It hasn't traded since February 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. Today's modelled estimate of £464,000 sits 103.1% above the 2008 sale of £228,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£416/sq ft) was about 16.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).
