About 56 Chessel Avenue
56 Chessel Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO19 4DX). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
