About 9 Digswell House
9 Digswell House is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Welwyn Garden City (AL8 7NX). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1981 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 184 m² it's 21% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (233 m² median across 10 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
