About 8 Elstow Road
8 Elstow Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Dagenham (RM9 6AU). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 100% above the 2007 sale of £174,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 29.4% below the postcode norm. At 81 m² it's 26.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 8 EPCs).
