52a, Streatham High Road, Lambeth, London, SW16 1DA

It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–87 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
