About 71a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
71a is a two-bedroom detached house in Bloxwich, Walsall, Walsall (WS3 3SW). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).
