About 17 Abbotswood Road
17 Abbotswood Road is a detached house in Lambeth, London, London (SW16 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2142 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
