About Flat 1

Flat 1 is an end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 4LW). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007-2011. 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.
