About 8 Barncroft Road

At 47 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (47–78 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 30 units on file. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (January 2021); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
