Local market context
Flat 2 is an end-of-terrace house in Christchurch (BH23 1EB). It has a recorded floor area of 20 m² (around 215 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 20 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (20–68 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (August 2024) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
