Overview

About First Floor Flat

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

First Floor Flat is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bath (BA1 6AW). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 is 14.6% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£506/sq ft) was about 113.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. At 34 m² it's 22.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (44 m² median across 49 EPCs).
