Flat 2, 2 Masterman Road, Plymouth, PL2 1BH

Flat 2 is an end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL2 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (37–47 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (68 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 340% above the 2000 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 56.2% below the postcode norm.
