About 6 Athelstan Road
6 Athelstan Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM3 0QB). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
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 £458,000 sits 86.9% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. At 100 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (124 m² median across 9 EPCs).
