About 12 Woodlands Drive
12 Woodlands Drive is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Stockport (SK2 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
