About 5 Northolme Road
5 Northolme Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N5 2UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since July 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. 8 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £2,487,000 sits 99% above the 2007 sale of £1,250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£596/sq ft) was about 52.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
