About 20a
20a is a mid-terrace house in Middlesbrough (TS1 4BA). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (43–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 5 units on file.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
