About Flat 4
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 4 is a detached house in Wirral (CH48 9UN). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 71 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 59–71 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 (45 versus a best of 66). The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
