Overview

About 2 Marwell Close

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

2 Marwell Close is a one-bedroom detached house in Romford (RM1 2TE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (37–63 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 41 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in May 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 sits 256.4% above the 1999 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 49.4% below the postcode norm. At 37 m² it's 22.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (48 m² median across 40 EPCs).

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 2 Marwell Close is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM1 2TE. 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 2 Marwell Close. 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 2 Marwell Close was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 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 2 Marwell Close. 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 2TE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Marwell Close 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.
