About Flat 4

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

Flat 4 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hackney, London, London (E2 8RS). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 51 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (43–51 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (63 versus a best of 75). Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
