About 20 George Lane

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

20 George Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Read, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7RH). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
