Flat 3, 51 The Lane, Awsworth, Nottingham, NG16 2QQ

Flat 3 is a semi-detached house in Awsworth, Nottingham, Nottingham (NG16 2QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–63 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 69). The latest certificate (January 2026) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 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. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£403/sq ft) was about 242.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
