Overview

About 10 Western Avenue

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

10 Western Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Polegate (BN26 6EP). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
