5 Choirs Close, Abbeymead, Gloucester, GL4 5GN

5 Choirs Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Abbeymead, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL4 5GN). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
