About 51 53

At 57 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 51 53 (57–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
