About 5 George Street

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

It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52). Main heating runs on electricity.
