Overview

About Little Acre

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

Little Acre is a detached house in Whaplode Drove, Spalding, Spalding (PE12 0TR). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
