Overview

About 2 Alderwood Drive

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

2 Alderwood Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in March 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Across 2013–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 41.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £597,000 is 37.2% above the 2015 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Alderwood Drive is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RM4 1DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Alderwood Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Alderwood Drive was lodged in November 2014 at band C and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Alderwood Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM4 1DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Alderwood Drive is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
