About Flat 4
Flat 4 is a mid-terrace house in Manchester (M21 8UX). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 25 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (25–217 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 5 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, subdivision and HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
