Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Amblecote, Stourbridge, Stourbridge (DY8 4HG). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 34 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–51 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£410/sq ft) was about 202.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in November 2012.
