About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 6LY). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 53 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–424 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (203 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
