About 186 Bergholt Road

It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.
