About Flat 4
Flat 4 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in London (SE1 3SU). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 54 m² this is the largest 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. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in February 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
