About 70 Wrefords Lane

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

70 Wrefords Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Exeter (EX4 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
