About 8b
8b is a detached house in Sheringham (NR26 8DB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 93 m² it's 23.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 11 EPCs).
