About 68a
68a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Albans (AL1 1NG). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump.
