About Flat A

The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 6 certificates since September 2008.

At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: March 2022 at £280,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
