About Lock House
Lock House is a detached house in Colwich, Stafford, Stafford (ST17 0XD). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since September 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
