Chain-free three-bedroom mid-terrace, 662 sq ft
This three-bedroom mid-terraced house in Romford offers an affordable, chain-free purchase with immediate rental or homeownership potential. The property includes off-street parking, gas central heating and double glazing; layout is traditional with living room, kitchen and a single family bathroom. With 662 sq ft and a small plot, the home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable project close to transport links (A12/M25) and local amenities.
The house dates from the early 20th century and shows signs of age: rooms are medium-sized, finishes are dated and the building likely has solid brick walls with no added insulation. The EPC rating is D and the property will benefit from cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements; there is potential to extend subject to planning permission (STPP), which could add value and living space.
Location strengths include several good-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The area is classified as high deprivation and multi-ethnic hardship, so buyers should weigh local socio-economic factors when considering long-term resale or letting prospects. Crime is described as average and council tax band is affordable (Band C).
Overall this is a practical, lower-cost entry property for hands-on buyers: those prepared to modernise can create a tidy family home or rental asset. Important considerations are the small overall size, a single bathroom, likely need for insulation and refurbishment works, and local area challenges.
