About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in London (SE1 3SU). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–54 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (75 versus a worst of 53). The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
