About 173c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
173c is a mid-terrace house in Christchurch (BH23 2AP). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a G (score 9), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 60 m² this is the 7th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (9 versus a best of 72).
At 60 m² it's 21.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
