About Desna

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

Desna is a two-bedroom detached house in Romford (RM3 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
