About 5 Catkin Road
5 Catkin Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L26 7XJ). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
