Apartment 2, 14 Knight Street, Liverpool, L1 9DS

Apartment 2 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Liverpool (L1 9DS). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 988 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. At 92 m² this is the 8th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 63–94 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (56 versus a best of 82). Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 is 22.4% above the 2007 sale price.
