15a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 575 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. At 53 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (53–168 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 sits 168.8% above the 1999 sale of £79,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it's 16.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 25 EPCs).
