About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 1HP). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 205 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 19 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (19–68 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 (43 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 19 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 49 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
