Overview

About 39 Colombo Road

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

39 Colombo Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 4RH). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2016. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
