About 1a
1a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 9BW). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since September 2013.

The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
