About 2 Lancers Cottages

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

It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a G (score 9), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs.
