About 18b
18b is a semi-detached house in Brighton (BN1 5DE). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 226 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 21 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (21–191 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
