Overview

About 17 Finch Avenue

It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a C (score 70).

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
