Flat 2, 300 Two Mile Hill Road, Bristol, BS15 1AS

Flat 2 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS15 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 32 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (32–50 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 sits 54% above the 2008 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 82.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (50 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
