About 17 Gray Street
17 Gray Street is a semi-detached house in Birmingham (B9 4LS). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
