About 57 Ash Hill Road

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

57 Ash Hill Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Torquay (TQ1 3JD). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
