Overview

About Apartment 4

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

Apartment 4 is an end-of-terrace house in Carlisle (CA1 1AG). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 126 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 79–195 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 34.9% below the 2021 sale of £295,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm. At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold December 2021 for £295,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Apartment 4 is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CA1 1AG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Apartment 4. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Apartment 4 was lodged in August 2021 at band E and is valid until August 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CA1 1AG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
