Overview

About 42 Primrose Avenue

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

42 Primrose Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1083 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £518,000 is 11.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£429/sq ft) was about 80% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in June 2017.
