About 33 Vernon Road
33 Vernon Road is a mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 8DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 57 m² this is the 5th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–171 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2011. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
