Apartment 5 is a mid-terrace house in Liverpool (L4 4LW). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 34 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (34–48 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 89.9% above the 2008 sale of £59,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 150.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
