About Flat 5
Flat 5 is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 1UB). It has a recorded floor area of 20 m² (around 215 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 20 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (20–58 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
