About Flat 2

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

At 79 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (23–79 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.

The latest certificate (March 2018) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average.
