Overview

About 23b

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

23b is a semi-detached house in Worcester (WR4 9AF). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
