Flat 2, 12 Clifton Road, Brighton, BN1 3HP

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 3HP). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–49 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 64). The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
