2 Chequers Parade, Ripple Road, Dagenham, RM9 6RT

2 Chequers Parade is a mid-terrace house in Dagenham (RM9 6RT). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 106 m² this is the 18th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (45 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in November 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 sits 452.5% above the 1996 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£35/sq ft) was about 80.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
