About 22a
22a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. At 60 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (60–72 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 15 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
It hasn't traded since October 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area.
