Overview

About 128 Overton Drive

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

128 Overton Drive is a mid-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. At 39 m² this is the 10th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 34 units on file.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 sits 53.8% above the 2008 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 47.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 39 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (47 m² median across 33 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 128 Overton Drive is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RM6 4EE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 128 Overton Drive. 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 128 Overton Drive was lodged in August 2025 at band D and is valid until August 2035. 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 128 Overton Drive. 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 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM6 4EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
128 Overton Drive is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
