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 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 26 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (26–53 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 (45 versus a best of 71). The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. 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.
