About 12 Cavendish Road

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

The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump.
