About 4 Acme Road

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

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
