Flat 2 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wavertree, Liverpool, Liverpool (L15 8HS). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 65 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (65–100 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (69 versus a worst of 49). The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 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 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (107 m² across 54 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 is 10.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 35.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
