About 3 Holly Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Holly Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM1 3AP). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 45 m² this is the 11th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 is 16% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 51.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 3 Holly Court is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM1 3AP. 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 3 Holly 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 3 Holly Court was lodged in August 2014 at band C and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Holly 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM1 3AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Holly 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.
