31 Beale Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Stourbridge (DY8 3XP). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
