About 196a
196a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 2XN). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 60 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–147 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
