About Holmfield

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

The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
