About 6 The Poplars

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

6 The Poplars is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).
