Flat 3 is a one-bedroom detached house in Sherwood, Nottingham, Nottingham (NG5 2NH). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (49–80 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (55 versus a worst of 39). The latest certificate (October 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 is 12% below the 2007 sale of £249,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£472/sq ft) was about 217.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since April 2007 — 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 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs).
