71 Fairfax Road is a semi-detached house in Sheffield (S2 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 47 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (47–92 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (72 versus a worst of 63). The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
