Overview

About The Gatehouse

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

The Gatehouse is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Romford (RM1 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 35 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 37 units on EPC record in The Gatehouse, where floor areas span 33–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

Most recent transfer was August 2025 at £170,000 — fresh data. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Gatehouse is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RM1 1AN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for The Gatehouse. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for The Gatehouse was lodged in December 2024 at band D and is valid until December 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to The Gatehouse. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM1 1AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Gatehouse is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
