About 34 Douglas Avenue
34 Douglas Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birmingham (B36 8EN).

The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
