About Merrylees

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

Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average.
