Overview

About 969 High Road

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

969 High Road is a mid-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4HB). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–124 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a C (score 71).

Held since September 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 800% above the 1996 sale of £22,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 75.2% below the postcode norm. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
