Flat 1 is a two-bedroom detached house in Wirral (CH48 9UG). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 71 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 61–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
