Overview

About 8 Whimbrel Drive

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

8 Whimbrel Drive is a detached house in Carlisle (CA1 2WG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) 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 September 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
