About 20 Gilbert Road
20 Gilbert Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM1 3BX). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 sits 74.3% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£283/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
