About 668 Preston Old Road

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

It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1117 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).
