A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
53 Cape Close is a one-bedroom detached house in Barking (IG11 8NE). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
