About 34b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34b is a semi-detached house in Beccles (NR34 9AE). It has a recorded floor area of 23 m² (around 248 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 23 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (23–102 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 23 m² it sits well below the postcode median (54 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
