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.

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.
