About 23 Freshwell Avenue
23 Freshwell Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM6 5DS). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£388/sq ft) was about 26.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
