About 128 Longcroft Lane
128 Longcroft Lane is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Welwyn Garden City (AL8 6EN). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
