Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (August 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
