Overview

About 1 Richens Close

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

1 Richens Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hounslow (TW3 1PL). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
