About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL4 9PN). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (66 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
