Apartment 1, 2 Churnett Street, Liverpool, L4 1TB

Apartment 1 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Liverpool (L4 1TB). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–64 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 (41 versus a best of 57). The latest certificate (April 2021) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since October 2008 — 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. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 103.6% above the 2008 sale of £55,000.
