About 218a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

218a is a semi-detached house in Preston, Weymouth, Weymouth (DT3 6BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 45 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 218a (45–75 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (34 versus a best of 66). The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
