About White Haven

It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
