About 55b
55b is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Scunthorpe (DN16 1DY). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 27 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (27–121 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 56 units on file. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 55 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 98.2% above the 2007 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 166.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
