About 12 Bessborough Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
