About 4a
4a is a mid-terrace house in Beckenham (BR3 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 56 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–114 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
