About 2 Cobden Court

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

It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (55–97 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
