About 17 Adswood Close
17 Adswood Close is a semi-detached house in Oldham (OL4 2JU). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
