Apartment 3 is a mid-terrace house in Leeds (LS1 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 66 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since January 2008 — that's 19 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. At 66 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 25 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
