About 1096a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1096a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4AB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 44 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–46 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (50 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 sits 480% above the 1998 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 54.6% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1096a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM6 4AB. 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 1096a. 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 1096a was lodged in October 2019 at band E and is valid until October 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1096a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM6 4AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
