About The Courtyard
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Courtyard is a two-bedroom detached house in Lewisham, London, London (SE14 5AE). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
