Get started3 Balham Villas is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Newmarket (CB8 8HB). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 27 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 18–60 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 74).
