Overview

About Thorpe Cottage

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

Thorpe Cottage is a mid-terrace house in King's Lynn (PE31 8HN). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
