About 8 Rathmore Close

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

It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).
