About 8a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Diss (IP22 4LB). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). At 101 m² this is the 11th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–141 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 14 units on file.

It hasn't traded since April 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
