48 Grove Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
