Overview

About 15 Gainsborough Drive

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

15 Gainsborough Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Mile Oak, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 3PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2009); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
