About 29a
29a is a semi-detached house in Blackpool (FY4 3QP). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–154 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
