It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A to G, with A being the most efficient. The certificate also includes practical recommendations for improving your property's energy performance.
The housing stock in Stroud reflects the town's character. Most properties are houses built in the mid-20th century, which means many have significant potential for energy improvements.

This isn't unusual for properties of this age, but it does suggest there's real opportunity to reduce energy bills and improve comfort.
If you own a Stroud property, loft insulation emerges as the most commonly recommended improvement.
