About 8a
8a is an end-of-terrace house in Thame (OX9 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 58 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (58–64 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 49). The latest certificate (April 2019) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2008.
