How the estimate is made
The estimate for 20a is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CA2 7JH. 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.

About 20a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Carlisle (CA2 7JH). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–132 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 65). The latest certificate (November 2018) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since October 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 £117,000 sits 290% above the 1999 sale of £30,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 25.5% below the postcode norm. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 20a is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CA2 7JH. 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 20a. 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 20a was lodged in November 2018 at band E and is valid until November 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CA2 7JH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
