About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in London (N8 8HR). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 28 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–55 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top.

Main heating runs on electricity.
At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2023.
