About 2 Erin Court

Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

- 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 2 Erin Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
