About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a semi-detached house in Romford (RM1 2PD). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2019. The latest certificate (January 2023) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. At 108 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–108 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.
Today's modelled estimate of £411,000 is 31.5% below the 2016 sale of £600,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£516/sq ft) was about 113.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 2 is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM1 2PD. 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 Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in January 2023 at band B and is valid until January 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Flat 2. 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 2PD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
