About 1 Dorset Avenue
1 Dorset Avenue is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stockport (SK5 8DU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
