About 5 Douglas Road

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

It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
