Overview

About 8 Brache Close

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

8 Brache Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Redbourn, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 7HX). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
