About 15 Buttercup Drive
15 Buttercup Drive is a detached house in Rochdale (OL11 3PA). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2014); the latest reading is one band lower.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
