Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom detached house in Cheltenham (GL52 6EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. At 39 m² this is the 9th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £163,000 sits 328.9% above the 1999 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 65% below the postcode norm.
