About 42 Overton Drive
42 Overton Drive is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4EA). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £564,000 sits 50.4% above the 2015 sale of £375,000.
