About 5 Heron Grove

It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
