About Ground Floor Flat
Ground Floor Flat is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portslade, Brighton, Brighton (BN41 1GU). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 72).

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
