Overview

About 409a

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

409a is a semi-detached house in Romford (RM6 6RH). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. At 56 m² this is the 6th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–241 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 22 units on file.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 sits 54.1% above the 2007 sale of £170,000. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 409a is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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. 3 sales are recorded for 409a. 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 409a was lodged in November 2018 at band D and is valid until November 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 409a. 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
409a is in council tax band B. 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.
