Overview

About 16 Blaidwood Drive

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

16 Blaidwood Drive is a detached house in Durham (DH1 3TD). It has a recorded floor area of 219 m² (around 2357 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
