About Frome Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Frome Court is a semi-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. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity. 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 across 18 units on file.
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. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 is 13.2% above the 2007 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- 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 July 2018 at band C and is valid until July 2028. 2 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.
