Overview

About 18a

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

18a is a mid-terrace house in Chorley (PR7 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 23 m² (around 248 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 23 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (23–102 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 50 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 23 m² it sits well below the postcode median (52 m² across 49 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
