About 171b

The latest certificate (January 2015) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good.
