About 20 Cecil Avenue
20 Cecil Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Bradford (BD7 3BP). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 7 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
