About 278 Chadwell Heath Lane

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

It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

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 278 Chadwell Heath Lane is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RM6 4YL. 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 278 Chadwell Heath Lane. 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 278 Chadwell Heath Lane was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 278 Chadwell Heath Lane. 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM6 4YL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
278 Chadwell Heath Lane 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.
