Overview

About 1 Desmond Road

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

1 Desmond Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Eastbourne (BN22 7LF). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
