245 Forest Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Waltham Forest, London, London (E17 6HD). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
