5 Derby Avenue, Romford, RM7 9JR

5 Derby Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM7 9JR). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £540,000 sits 116% above the 2008 sale of £249,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 42.4% below the postcode norm.
