Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
