Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bath (BA1 6AW). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. At 66 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 64–115 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 66 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 49 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 51.2% above the 2009 sale of £160,000.
