About Flat 15

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

It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 59 m² this is the 9th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2009.
