About 9 Donald Drive
9 Donald Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Romford (RM6 5EB). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since June 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £455,000 sits 633.9% above the 1997 sale of £62,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 76.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
