About 8 Browning Avenue

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

It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1852 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
