Overview

About 16 Field Close

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

16 Field Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since May 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2003–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 26% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 sits 91.7% above the 2004 sale of £230,000. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
