About 3 Sir Richards Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Sir Richards Drive is a one-bedroom detached house in Birmingham (B17 8SA). It has a recorded floor area of 254 m² (around 2734 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
