About 5 Appleby Drive
5 Appleby Drive is a mid-terrace house in Romford (RM3 7SH). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 791 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 sits 80.3% above the 2008 sale of £192,500.
