About 20 Forty Close
20 Forty Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wembley (HA9 8LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump.
