About 5 April Street

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

5 April Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hackney, London, London (E8 2EF). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 45 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
