Overview

About 1 Market Place

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

1 Market Place is a detached house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1UA). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2022. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. At 49 m² this is the 5th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to A across 25 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 13.3% below the 2022 sale of £330,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£626/sq ft) was about 77.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Last sale on file: £330,000 in October 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 1 Market Place is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM4 1UA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Market Place. 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 1 Market Place was lodged in September 2022 at band E and is valid until September 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 1 Market Place. 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 1UA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
