About 25 London Road
25 London Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Kettering (NN16 0EF). It has a recorded floor area of 203 m² (around 2185 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
