Get started12 Shades Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Croft, Leicester, Leicester (LE9 3ZH).

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
