About 7 Essex Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Essex Road is a semi-detached house in Stockport (SK5 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
