About 5 Avon Drive
5 Avon Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL9 6SN). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
