About Begdale House
Begdale House is a five-bedroom detached house in Elm, Wisbech, Wisbech (PE14 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
