About 2b
2b is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 9DX). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. At 64 m² this is the 4th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–270 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 14 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
