About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Liverpool (L15 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–117 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 6 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
