Overview

About 15 Ethel Cottages

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

15 Ethel Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chadwell Heath, Romford, Romford (RM6 5JB). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. 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 £466,000 sits 151.9% above the 2007 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 29.7% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 4 refused.

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 15 Ethel Cottages is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RM6 5JB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15 Ethel Cottages. 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 15 Ethel Cottages was lodged in May 2026 at band C and is valid until May 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to 15 Ethel Cottages. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM6 5JB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Ethel Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
