About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is an end-of-terrace house in Grimsby (DN32 0HH). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 58 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–59 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 71). The latest certificate (October 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.
Held since February 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 88.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DN32 0HH. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in October 2024 at band E and is valid until October 2034. 3 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 Flat 1. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DN32 0HH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
