About 5 Albany Avenue
5 Albany Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M11 1HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
