About 136 Overton Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
136 Overton Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. 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, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (53 versus a best of 82). The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 39 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (47 m² median across 33 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 sits 59.2% above the 2004 sale of £125,000.

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 136 Overton Drive is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 4 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. 4 sales are recorded for 136 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 136 Overton Drive was lodged in July 2012 at band E and expired in July 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 136 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
- 136 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.
