About 42 Primrose Avenue
42 Primrose Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1083 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
