Overview

About 12 Mandarin Royal

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

12 Mandarin Royal is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM1 2PR). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–78 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in August 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 43.3% above the 2008 sale price.
