Overview

About 14 Buchanan Drive

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

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
