About Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a semi-detached house in South Croydon (CR2 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (31–72 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 (51 versus a best of 71). The latest certificate (November 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
