About 5 Drive Mead
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Drive Mead is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Coulsdon (CR5 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 55 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom.
