About 2b

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The latest certificate (April 2014) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
