About The Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since November 2012. 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 D (score 64), a 3-band jump.
