Overview

About 3 Dorset Avenue

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

3 Dorset Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM1 4LL). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
