About Flat
Flat is a mid-terrace house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 130 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (35–130 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
