About 1 South Drive
1 South Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Irby, Wirral, Wirral (CH61 2XL). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
