About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cowley, Oxford, Oxford (OX4 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 5 m² (around 54 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. At 5 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (5–86 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (August 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £26,000 is 85.1% below the 2010 sale of £175,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£3,252/sq ft) was about 920.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 5 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 50 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
