About 17 Ashdale Avenue

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

It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1372 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).
