About 132 Royston Avenue
132 Royston Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southend On Sea (SS2 4BW). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
