About 9 Highfield Avenue

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

9 Highfield Avenue is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Dove Holes, Buxton, Buxton (SK17 8DE). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
