About 48a
48a is a semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL16 4TU). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the 8th smallest of 39 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–139 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
