About 12 Crane House

12 Crane House is a mid-terrace house in Chester (CH1 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
