Overview

About 157 159

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

157 159 is a semi-detached house in Weston Super Mare (BS23 3ER). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 47 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in 157 159, where floor areas span 35–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (49 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
