41 Birch Lane is a mid-terrace house in Manchester (M13 0NW). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 49 m² this is the 10th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–165 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
