Overview

About 44 New Farm Drive

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

44 New Farm Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1BT). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (180 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2014–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £449,000 is 18.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£588/sq ft) was about 248.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
