About 53a
53a is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 47 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (74 versus a worst of 43). The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
