About Flat 2

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 2 is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 2LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 55 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–279 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (55 versus a best of 71). The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
