About Flat 3
Flat 3 is a mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 6TB). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 27 m² this is the 5th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–59 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (49 m² across 45 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
