Overview

About Flat 1

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

At 46 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–54 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom.
