1 Chafford Way, Romford, RM6 5DP

1 Chafford Way is an end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 5DP). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 119 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 sits 323.5% above the 1998 sale of £119,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 63.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
