About 29 Victoria Avenue
29 Victoria Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Saffron Walden (CB11 3AD). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
