About 17 Court Close

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 17 Court Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
