About 5 Church Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Church Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Thornhill, Dewsbury, Dewsbury (WF12 0JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
