About Avenue House

It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
