Overview

About 5 Kings Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Kings Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 2NX). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
