About 6 Derby Road

The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof 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 May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
