Overview

About 2 Cottam Avenue

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

2 Cottam Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ingol, Preston, Preston (PR2 3XD). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
