When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
