31 Kingfisher Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5GP). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 595 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 20th smallest of 45 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–186 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (66 versus a best of 82). The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
