Flat 2, 10 Lancaster Road, Harrogate, HG2 0EZ

Flat 2 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Harrogate (HG2 0EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 865 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 80 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (80–179 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (14 versus a best of 67). The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 is 46.5% above the 2009 sale price.
