About 2a
2a is an end-of-terrace house in Swindon (SN1 1DS). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump.

Held since December 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
