About Flat 1

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

The latest certificate (January 2023) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.
