3 Brabiner Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Whittingham, Preston, Preston (PR3 2AP). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
