About 47 Spencer Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
47 Spencer Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Carlisle (CA1 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 31 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–197 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 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. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (50 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£554/sq ft) was about 272.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
