About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 228 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in October 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
