About Flat 8

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 8 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Southampton (SO18 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–51 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.
