The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2016. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
