5 Abbotts Court, High Street, Stanstead Abbotts, Ware, SG12 8UZ

5 Abbotts Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stanstead Abbotts, Ware, Ware (SG12 8UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
