About 8 Romney Drive

It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £319,500. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2005–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 is 22.1% above the 2021 sale price.
