Overview

About 1 Herbert Gardens

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

1 Herbert Gardens is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4BS). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 208.8% above the 2009 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 39.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
