About 1a
1a is a detached house in Croydon, London, London (SW16 4NP). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
