About 16a
16a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rugby (CV22 7ER). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since.
