Overview

About 15 The Room Apartments

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

At 68 m² this is the 68th smallest of 78 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 78 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity.
