About Flat 1
Flat 1 is an end-of-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 4BP). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 413 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 18–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (56 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2010–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 38.8% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£324/sq ft) was about 15% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
