About 17a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM6 4LS). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 70 m² this is the 17th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–149 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 108.9% above the 2009 sale of £134,995.

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 17a is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM6 4LS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 17a. 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 17a was lodged in September 2023 at band C and is valid until September 2033. 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 17a. 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 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM6 4LS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17a 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.
