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. 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.

At 47 m² it's 26% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 50 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2008.
