7 Maple Street, Romford, RM7 7JX

7 Maple Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM7 7JX). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 51 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–147 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £248,000 sits 77.1% above the 2007 sale of £140,000. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
