About 57a
57a is a two-bedroom detached house in Bromley (BR2 0DN). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 408 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–166 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
