About 13 Donald Drive
13 Donald Drive is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 5EB). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2018. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 179 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 41 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £634,000 sits 201.9% above the 2008 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
