7 Durell Road, Dagenham, RM9 5XU

7 Durell Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Dagenham (RM9 5XU). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since January 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 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 sits 84.1% above the 2008 sale of £245,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
