About 143 North Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
143 North Street is a semi-detached house in Romford (RM1 1ED). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–89 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2018); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 is 64.8% below the 2023 sale of £500,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,161/sq ft) was about 481.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). 7 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. Sold December 2023 for £500,000.
