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 49 m² (around 527 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 49 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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 49 m² it's 20.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 10 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 38.7% above the 2008 sale price.

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 12 Mandarin Royal is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM1 2PR. 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 12 Mandarin Royal. 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 12 Mandarin Royal was lodged in March 2026 at band C and is valid until March 2036. 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 12 Mandarin Royal. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM1 2PR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Mandarin Royal 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.
