Overview

About 41a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

41a is an end-of-terrace house in St Leonards On Sea (TN38 0BY). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. An application is currently awaiting a decision.
