Overview

About Flat 8

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 8 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Gloucester (GL1 1GA). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012-2021 and council tax band B. At 69 m² this is the 4th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 11 years since the last transfer (October 2015). Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 25.1% above the 2015 sale price.
