About 5 Hertford Road
5 Hertford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 7GG). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
