Overview

About Frome Court

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

Frome Court is a detached house in Romford (RM1 1EY). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 57 m² this is the 8th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in Frome Court, where floor areas span 56–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (51 versus a best of 83). The latest certificate (March 2022) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

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 Frome Court is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM1 1EY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Frome Court. 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 Frome Court was lodged in March 2022 at band E and is valid until March 2032. 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 Frome Court. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM1 1EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Frome Court 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.
