About 1 Latimer Road

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

It has a recorded floor area of 239 m² (around 2573 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
