Overview

About 24 Alderwood Drive

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

24 Alderwood Drive is a semi-detached house in Abridge, Romford, Romford (RM4 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
