Local market context
Apartment 18 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Liverpool (L1 8DS). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–92 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 32 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
Apartment 18's carbon output is low for the local stock.
