About 3a
3a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0RN). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–105 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
