Overview

About 4 Alderwood Drive

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

4 Alderwood Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 sits 68.1% above the 2013 sale of £272,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£452/sq ft) was about 22% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 56 m² it's 28.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 11 EPCs).
