About 8 Ravensmere
8 Ravensmere is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Beccles (NR34 9DX). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2012); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
At 114 m² it's 29.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 17 EPCs).
