About 5 Oswald Mews
5 Oswald Mews is an end-of-terrace house in Botesdale, Diss, Diss (IP22 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 552 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
