Apartment 5, 14 Knight Street, Liverpool, L1 9DS

Apartment 5 is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Liverpool (L1 9DS). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2021) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in August 2011 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 91 m² this is the 7th 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 top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (82 versus a worst of 56).

Today's modelled estimate of £287,000 is 12.2% below the 2007 sale of £326,785, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs).
