About 17 Genge Avenue
17 Genge Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolverhampton (WV4 6SL). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
