About 1b
1b is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E11 1JX). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1868 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump.
