Overview

About 17a

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

17a is an end-of-terrace house in Romford (RM6 6JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–147 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 34 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.
