About 288 Sarehole Road

The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
