Overview

About 17 Gresham Drive

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

17 Gresham Drive is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4TL). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 948 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £492,000 sits 77% above the 2007 sale of £278,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Gresham Drive is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM6 4TL. 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 17 Gresham Drive. 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 17 Gresham Drive was lodged in September 2010 at band D and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 17 Gresham Drive. 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM6 4TL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Gresham Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
