About 31 Ambleside Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 31 Ambleside Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
