Overview

About 2a

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

2a is an end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
