Get started5b is a detached house in Waltham St. Lawrence, Reading, Reading (RG10 0HY). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 80 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (80–176 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to D across 5 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since May 2011.
