Flat 1, 74 Alma Road, Southampton, SO14 6UX
About Flat 1
Flat 1 is an end-of-terrace house in Southampton (SO14 6UX). It has a recorded floor area of 16 m² (around 172 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 16 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (16–32 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 16 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
