About 1 Derrick Road
1 Derrick Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Beckenham (BR3 3QG). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
