Overview

About 5 Sparrow Lane

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

It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1051 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a C (score 72).

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good.
