Overview

About 409c

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

409c is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM6 6RH). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 91 m² this is the 11th 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, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 86.9% above the 2003 sale of £129,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 48.6% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 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 409c is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 409c. 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 409c was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 409c. 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
409c 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.
