Flat 3, 35 Bargate, Grimsby, DN34 4BD

Flat 3 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Grimsby (DN34 4BD). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (48–85 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 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 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 45.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
