Flat 3 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bootle (L20 5AE). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 44 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–49 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 67). The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. 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 74% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£315/sq ft) was about 590.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
