About 16b
16b is an end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 3DD). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 32 m² this is the 4th smallest of 37 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–231 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
