About 8a
8a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chislehurst (BR7 5DW). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 57 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (57–60 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
