Overview

About 395 Whalebone Lane North

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

395 Whalebone Lane North is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM6 6RH). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.

At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £727,000 is 24.3% above the 2017 sale price.

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 395 Whalebone Lane North is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RM6 6RH. 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 395 Whalebone Lane North. 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 395 Whalebone Lane North was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 395 Whalebone Lane North. 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 47 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM6 6RH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
395 Whalebone Lane North is in council tax band E. 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.
