About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a two-bedroom detached house in Chorlton Cum Hardy, Manchester, Manchester (M21 8AP). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 490 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–66 m². On EPC score it ranks first in the building (78 versus a worst of 69). The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 is 24.2% below the 2008 sale of £450,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£919/sq ft) was about 287.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since November 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.
