Overview

About 10 Wordsworth Avenue

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

10 Wordsworth Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 2DD). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2020 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
