About 18 Horace Avenue

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

18 Horace Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Romford (RM7 0XA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2017) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
