About 88 Overton Drive

88 Overton Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4DX). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.

The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £468,000 sits 87.2% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 84 m² it's 15.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 10 EPCs).
