Overview

About 156b

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

156b is a detached house in Kennington, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5PE). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
