About 4 Gainsford Crescent

4 Gainsford Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hitchin (SG4 0QG). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.
