About 71a
71a is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO1 2UT). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 61 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–132 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
