Overview

About 2 Elm Close

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

2 Elm Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM7 8HP). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 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 £412,000 sits 71.7% above the 2007 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
