About 55 Austin Drive

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

It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band.
