About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4JX). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–45 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (53 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
