Overview

About 17 Birkbeck Road

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

17 Birkbeck Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Romford (RM7 0QR). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £453,000 sits 91.9% above the 2013 sale of £236,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 31.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in December 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
