About 5a
5a is a detached house in Southampton (SO18 1LL). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 80 m² this is the 7th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–153 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
