About 12a
12a is a semi-detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AB). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–278 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (27 versus a best of 64). The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
