Overview

About 9 Dickens Way

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

9 Dickens Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Romford (RM1 4GQ). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1688 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 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. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £716,000 sits 79.4% above the 2009 sale of £399,000. At 157 m² it's 16.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (187 m² median across 11 EPCs).
