About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a mid-terrace house in Chesterfield (S40 1RF). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 30 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–46 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2017) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 is 58.8% below the 2017 sale of £320,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (49 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). On the market in June 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S40 1RF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 2. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 2 was lodged in April 2017 at band E and is valid until April 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S40 1RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
