Overview

About 24 Cambridge Road

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

24 Cambridge Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 8PR). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
