Overview

About 26 Holmes Road

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

26 Holmes Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Breaston, Derby, Derby (DE72 3BT). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
