About 13 Badger Drive
13 Badger Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6ZW). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
