About 2 Surrey Road

The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
