About 5 Royston Court

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Royston Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 3SU). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good.
