About 1a

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

1a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Islington, London, London (N5 1AX). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
