Flat 3 is an end-of-terrace house in Bideford (EX39 2AU). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 860 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 80 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (55–80 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (34 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 80 m² it's 23% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 37 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 37.8% above the 2009 sale price.
