About 34 Smallgate
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34 Smallgate is a semi-detached house in Beccles (NR34 9AE). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
