Overview

About 1 Watermans

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

1 Watermans is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM1 3QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 65 m² this is the 36th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–94 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 65 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
