12 London Road, Abridge, Romford, RM4 1UX

12 London Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1UX). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1780 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 1996 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £849,000 sits 243.4% above the 1996 sale of £247,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 67.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
