Overview

About 27 Dorset Avenue

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

27 Dorset Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM1 4LL). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 is 48.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 16.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
