About 7 Willow Flats
7 Willow Flats is a two-bedroom detached house in Hartlepool (TS26 0QX). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 55 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (55–62 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (76 versus a best of 82). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.
