6b, Grove Road South, Southsea, PO5 3QT
About 6b
6b is a mid-terrace house in Southsea (PO5 3QT). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 78 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–126 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 78 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
