Overview

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.
