About Flat 8

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

Flat 8 is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB5 8DT). It has a recorded floor area of 18 m² (around 194 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 18 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 15–33 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
