The apartment itself is located on the 2nd floor which also has lift access, the rooms are clean and neutral in design (ready for the perfect buyer to create their personality within) the open plan kitchen/dining environment also links to the private balcony with pleasant views and offers the right balance of privacy - and is also suggested as being the largest on the development... (one of the reasons as to why the current seller elected for this particular apartment when purchasing!)

Surface Water Flood Risk
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.

About Emma Wallington YOPA
A full service
Everything traditional estate agents do, we do too. We’re also here on evenings and at weekends, when you need us most.

Fair fixed fees
Only pay one fee, which is fixed from the beginning. There’s no commission, and we’ll discuss your payment options with you upfront.

Pay when sold
Or, for extra peace of mind, only pay when your home is sold. Speak to your agent for a price.
Emma Wallington, Area Sales Manager
I have worked within the industry for just under 19 years and within this time have undertaken almost every role that you can within estate agency. At the heart of my business mindset is customer service and ensuring that my clients and buyers receive the best possible experience throughout their move.

Having always worked full time I took the opportunity to become self-employed in 2021 after 18 years of High Street agency to allow a more flexible work / home life balance to ensure that I can also focus on my other passion, my family I have two children who are my world and have lived in Collier Row with my partner since moving from the family home back in 2005.

The ability to service clients within my own community is a fantastic opportunity for me, having lived in Romford for over 10 years both my children attend the local schools and I love the fact that I can visit both the hassle and bustle of Romfords Town centre or a bespoke cafe within minutes from my home.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
