7a, Connaught Place, Weston Super Mare, BS23 2QA

7a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Weston Super Mare (BS23 2QA). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–258 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (76 versus a worst of 20). Other recorded features include a balcony, a self-contained annexe and a basement. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 320.3% above the 1999 sale of £34,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 45.2% below the postcode norm. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
