About 1 Penrith Road
1 Penrith Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Romford (RM3 9NS). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
