The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. Main heating runs on electricity.
