About Basement Flat
Basement Flat is a mid-terrace house in Sunderland (SR2 8JG). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 3 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 185 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
