8 Festival Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rainford, St. Helens, St Helens (WA11 8ES). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
