About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester, Manchester (M21 8AP). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (33–50 m²). On EPC score it ranks first in the building (53 versus a worst of 40). The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 is 48.7% below the 2022 sale of £380,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,070/sq ft) was about 350.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £380,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
