About Flat 2

At 25 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (20–25 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 (53 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (February 2019) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor.
