About 22a

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

At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 22a (29–44 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
