About 5 Cowley Road
5 Cowley Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Romford (RM3 7ET). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
