Overview

About 5 Cumberland Street

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

5 Cumberland Street is a mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 3JL). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
