That usually means the assessment was incomplete — here the assessor recorded no heating system at all. The costs below are real; a fresh assessment would be the way to find the gain.

Grants verified 20 August 2026. Costs are the register’s indicative ranges, except where marked typical, which this certificate did not price and which are taken instead from comparable homes of the same type.
Running costs
Restated at the fuel prices assumed in July 2026. This certificate, assessed in 2010, states £703 a year at the prices assumed then. Modelled costs, not a bill.
