About 5 Adams Close
5 Adams Close is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 7HU). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.
