About 23 Cambridge Road
23 Cambridge Road is a semi-detached house in Harrow (HA2 7LA). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor.
