45c is an end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 5DX). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
