Flat 4 is an end-of-terrace house in Morecambe (LA3 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 75 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (28–75 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (1 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. 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 September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 45.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm.
