Overview

About First Floor Flat

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

First Floor Flat is a mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 6BH). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
