About Flat 12
Flat 12 is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 3SS). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–64 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (60 versus a best of 66).

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average.
