About 971 High Road

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

971 High Road is a mid-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4HB). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
