About 8 Japonica Drive
8 Japonica Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Leegomery, Telford, Telford (TF1 6XD). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
