Get startedJaponica Cottage is a detached house in Hale, Fordingbridge, Fordingbridge (SP6 2ND). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 209 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
