Musker Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Liverpool (L23 0UB). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 55 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in Musker Court, where floor areas span 53–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
