About Finches
Finches is a detached house in Debden, Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden (CB11 3LG). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
