About 8 Craven Gardens
8 Craven Gardens is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Harold Wood, Romford, Romford (RM3 0DF). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
