About 18 Colombo Road

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

18 Colombo Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 4RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump.
