Overview

About 81 Balfour Road

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

81 Balfour Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bootle (L20 4NY). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in February 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
