About 20c
20c is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 0LA). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 35 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–137 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
