About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in London (SW16 2BB). It has a recorded floor area of 20 m² (around 215 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 20 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (20–52 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (June 2017) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
