About 5 Askew Close
5 Askew Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Grange Park, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 6HT). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
