About 99 Gubbins Lane
99 Gubbins Lane is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM3 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 179 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £667,000 sits 105.9% above the 2007 sale of £324,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 40.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
