About 17 Chippenham Road
17 Chippenham Road is a semi-detached house in Romford (RM3 8EX). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
