Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
