About Flat 5
Flat 5 is a mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR1 1TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 29 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
